Amid increasingly complex developments in Iran's security and public order situation, the Consular Department of Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning, advising citizens not to travel to Iran at this time unless absolutely necessary.

The department also urges Vietnamese citizens currently in Iran to stay informed, strictly comply with local regulations, and follow guidance from Vietnamese authorities, including the Consular Department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Embassy of Vietnam in Iran.

For those in need of assistance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has provided emergency contact channels:

Embassy of Vietnam in Iran: +98 933 965 8252 (direct call), +98 933 460 9074 (WhatsApp, Viber)
Citizen Protection Hotline, Consular Department: +84 981 84 84 84
Email: baohocongdan@gmail.com

In light of the escalating situation in Iran, several countries have issued similar warnings, urging their citizens to remain extremely cautious. Over the past few days, multiple airlines have canceled or rerouted flights to Tehran.

The United Nations Security Council has scheduled an emergency meeting on Iran, at the request of the United States.

This development comes as Tehran appears to have made conciliatory statements aimed at easing tensions following a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump, who pledged action to prevent violent crackdowns on protesters in Iran.
